He goes on to conclude that bloggers are "a lonely bunch." Not to be overly defensive (or offensive), but "Canadian Researcher" doesn't sound like a hotbed of meaningful social interaction either.

The card is $50 with a $50 mail in rebate. What makes it even better is that if you're not already signed up for Google Checkout, you can use Google Checkout to get $10 off your purchase, which means you actually make about $7 on the deal (after taxes). Of course I can't vouch for the quality of the card, nor could I find any write speed specs, but no matter how slow it is a free back-up card is never a bad thing.
